Er, yes. When you're getting by, you don't get to "Go out for lunch". Ever.
You don't get to buy cool games. You can't afford to wash your car. If you've ever gone through college, you should be able to make it on a 12$ an hour budget easy.
Cars need oil changes. People need haircuts.
Yes. 100$ a month. Go to supercuts or a hairdressers school if you want a cheap haircut. You're going to be spending 20-30$ on your oil change every couple of months. Buy a prepaid cellphone. You won't be using it a whole lot since you can't really afford to go anywhere or do anything.
12$ is a good wage. Far better when I had to scrape by at 8$ an hour at CompUSA in Boulder CO. Also not known as a cheap place to live.
Once you learn to live beneath your means, you enjoy life far more.
6$ for a food a day is 180 a month. We'll say 200. Gas is 4$ a gallon. We'll assume you run an economical car and not an SUV. 208$ a month.(12 gallons a week, times 4$, 52 weeks, divide by 12 months) 800$ for power, heat, water, and place to live.
Looks like we're at 1,208. Toss down a 300$ a month for your cheap car payment and insurance and you're still 100$ under the wire.
And that's if you do nothing else but that one 12$ an hour job. I have one official job, one side job, and I'm working on opening up a online store.
Oh no you don't. The last thing we need are environmentalists hounding us for reducing our "Neutron Footprint"
You'll be accused of working for the "Global nuclear industry consortium" and if you're not dedicated to removing all neutrons from manufactured goods, you're a traitor to humanity.
Yeah, but the cost of these "disposable" drones has been rocketing up. I think they're better also, up to the point where we're spending 100M on them each. Then it's officially crazy.
From what I've read elsewhere the other day it seems though that drones have a 'hidden cost' attached to them, the people that control the drones get to see the result of their actions and they are having serious psychological issues as a result of that.
Sounds like scaremongering to me. Unless you believe that most jobs in the military has people insulated from their actions?
Did you spend more than 5 seconds thinking about this or do you just automatically believe everything you read?
In your example your investment hasn't paid off at all. All you did was pay a lot of money for a long and painful "Human networking" class. Any skills you've learned have been mentally filed next to your Pascal, CP/M, and useful DOS 2.1 hacks.
It's something to keep in mind though. I'm used to non-adult college classes, not much networking to be done with 20 year olds.

If you were in charge of the TSA, what would you do?
Also note, if a suicide bomber or flyer gets through, thousands of people can die and billions of dollars worth of damage can be done.
It's easy to whine, bitch, and complain. It's a lot harder to improve things.
Because he doesn't want human beings. He wants programming cogs that fit into the machine.
I'm not a programmer, I just work with computers to get them to do what I need them to do.
But I'd love to know more details about that test.
Also, I love the abstract artwork on your home page.
Does...anyone really care? It's just a name.
Frigging *pick* one and get back to work.
I don't think you understand what a community is.
You should use the words "Target Audience."
You're seriously suggesting that she used to conduct government business over Yahoo, but then deleted it all?
How ridiculous.
Hey, you know what other evidence you don't have? You don't have pictures of the corpses she dismembered with a chainsaw.
When you bring this up, you're logically correct. But you're also insinuating that something happened.
I agree.
A full half hour of commercials for a 1.5 hour movie is ridiculous, and is one of the main reasons I left TV.
Don't you have to file in a Jurisdiction where EA's headquarter's is?
That would greatly limit "Everyone filing against EA"
Er, yes. When you're getting by, you don't get to "Go out for lunch". Ever.

Boston is expensive. However, a quick glance at Craiglist brought up this:
$525 Roommates Needed - All Utitlities Included - Pay The Rent And :Live (Medford -Boner ave)
There was even a cheaper place.
Get this, when you're poor, you don't get your own place. Unless it's a cardboard box under a bridge.
Er, why not?
12$ an hour = 24,960$ a year.
According to http://www.paycheckcity.com/netpayhratescalc/netpayHRatescalculator.asp
That's 19,292 a year, 1607 a month.

Yeah, unless you live in a pricey area, 12$ an hour is doable.
Raising a kid by yourself is a huge task unless you make enough to pay someone else to do it though.
Interesting, educating students about the military is now "the miltitarization of education".
It would be a tragedy of education if high school students graduated without knowing the basics of their own military.
Especially in the US, which has the most powerful military in the history of mankind.
Ooops. I'm late for my flight to the colony of Japan!
I've never heard of there ever being any demand for physicists.
"What's that thing in the corner? Oh, it's that fusion reactor I slapped together."
I'd love to be able to say that.
Oh no you don't. The last thing we need are environmentalists hounding us for reducing our "Neutron Footprint"

Can one build a "Plasma focus" device on an experimenalist's budget?
My view is that if you're involved in the military, or even in life, you'll see the results of your actions.
People most obsessed with "The horrors of war" tend to be grandstanding.
Huh. It wasn't just me?
I stopped watching BSG after the episode where they could have destroyed all the Cylons, but then didn't.
(Blink)
Hey, you're being hunted to extinction by robots. You might want to do something about that.
Are you kidding? I would have loved to get into Chemistry.
I just didn't hear about getting a good job afterwords. You can't make a living off of cleaning test tubes.
One of the guys in my lab was getting into IT after spending a few years in a Chem lab.
If the jobs are there, it will attract the smart and talented.

It's probably for the best that you do. If you're lucky, you'll be getting a second generation Andriod by that time.
If you're unlucky, that's when the first generation will come out.
Actually, no they don't, otherwise everyone would be successful.
I'm surprised you'd put that statement out there. What do you think that says about the success you've gotten in life?
Are you kidding me?
